hello everybody and welcome to my project thread.
the car is a mk2 gti 8v small bumper in white.
i got this golf back in 2006 as a replacement project for an MG ZR that i had been working on for 3 years.
the plan was to build a full on show car with the money i had made from selling the MG but buying a house soon used all the cash so the golf was up for sale. good news is the golf never sold and i still have it.
the plan is to make it into a track/strip car with the aim of running low 15 sec runs on the 1/4 mile.
